  The Community of St. Malachi – First Personal Parish of the Diocese of Cleveland
Celebrating Faith in God and in the Future! 

First Sunday of Lent

February 13, 2005

We also have this message from Rose Horning, who co-chaired the Jan. 30 “Welcome Series.” (Please note: the “series” this time was condensed into one event, held in St. Malachi Center.) “A big Thank You to members of the CSM Council who participated in the Welcome Series: Bill Johansen, Rosemary Gaffney Etheart, Ed Shemo, Joe Wegrzynowski, Cynthia Bender, Joyce Geib, Nicky Stary, Gene Kramer and Marty Miller.

“Other members who made the afternoon so enjoyable were Cindy DiNardo, Karen Duffy and Jim Stary. A heartfelt spiritual witness was given by Carol Schiro. The chili makers and lunch crew did a great job of feeding the hungry: Jackie Bluett, Cindy DiNardo, Duane Horning and JoAnn Kramer. Kay Vine with the third grade Christian Formation Class made beautiful welcome cards for us. Ronnie Tricsko at the Backdoor Ministry, Cathy Saegel and Jackie Bluett from St. Malachi Center, Roger Deike from Malachi Mart, Josie Gaughan and John Gerace from Malachi House, Dave Starre and the helpers from Monday Night Meal, and Phil Daly from the Sunday Brunch all welcomed Duane and me as we made rounds, gathered information and took pictures of the Malachi Ministries. Rick Bluett was a willing and very capable co-facilitator. If I have overlooked anyone, I apologize. It’s always a risk listing names, but I think it is also important to recognize those who have added to the success of this program.” - Rose Horning.
